No spoiler alert needed as I'm not going to give away the result of the game on the Gold Coast for those that don't know who won or lost, though most here would probably know the score if they've been on the Live Stats or managed to get an online telecast but from what I've read it should make interesting viewing when 10:30pm rolls around...

Hawks looked bad. Real bad. Second lowest team score in team history. Lowest made FG in team history, 3rd lowest FG% in team history..
Losing by 40+ points in a 40 min game is absolutely disgraceful, I know they've got financial issues and can't put much in the way of decent players on the court but the Hawks should be ashamed.
Refs let gold coast beat up on them like the week before against cairns. that's what's disgraceful. Read McLeod's comments in the game report, very well said by him.

NBL match report says only Ubaka from the Hawks hit double figures yet Coenraad had 10.
Where is that person who said the wildcats are flagrant??? Hawks were getting raped out there and no call!!!! Wortho is a cock head!!! Refs are the most pathetic ive seen this season!!!!

Last night the refs let the Blaze get away with a lot of over physical play, just like they did against Cairns last week.
And can someone tell Steve Carfino to go take a hike please? In the 2nd last night Tyson Demos grabbed a defensive rebound and started off to get the Hawks attacking. In doing so he ran (pretty hard I might add) smack bang into the shoulder of Stephen Hoare (who has 10cm on Demos so it was a shoulder to chin contact). Demos went flying but managed to stay on his feet and Carfino then proceeded to accuse Demos of acting and trying to get a foul. If he was doing that he would not have stayed on his feet...
And when did it become legal to jump into the air, then after landing you start dribbling toward the basket? Do refs actually know what travel is?
Also the same ref who allowed the blatant travel also called the Hawks for a 5 second inbound violation. Gordie McLeod was dead right in asking about that because the violation was called after only 3 seconds...
You know something is wrong with you when you're trying to blame the refs for a 40+ point loss.
both teams were playing rough. frustration was coming out on the court. can not put a huge defeat like that one all on the refs
